[U] State v. Perrantes

Appellant Paris Perrantes was convicted of second degree felony murder and first degree manslaughter for a single homicide. His appeal presents the following issues: (1) are state and federal constitutional guarantees against double jeopardy violated by convictions for second degree felony murder and first degree manslaughter for one homicide; (2) is a new trial required because a State-selected portion of a transcript of Perrantess statement to the police, which had been read to the jury but not approved to go to the jury, was mistakenly sent to the jury room with the other exhibits; (3) do statements made by the prosecutor in closing argument constitute misconduct requiring reversal; (4) was Perrantess counsel effective; (5) is self-defense applicable to first degree manslaughter; (6) must the State prove that Perrantes intended to assault a specific individual to prove felony-murder; and (7) was the evidence sufficient to establish the corpus delicti of the underlying crime?
